This cemetery is atop a hill in my town. The lighting in the sky was created two sources—a shopping center and a residential area.
Opening statement
Two of the more difficult personality traits to possess in unison are creativity and perfectionism. I’ve had an unquenchable thirst to create things both visual and audial since I was a child. The act of creation is how I find the most euphoria for life; where I feel I am fulfilling a destiny coded into me by my parents, and generations before them.
Though my enthusiasm for creation hasn’t died since I was a child (and, in fact, I’ve so far been able to begin a career using creative skills), it’s been mired in recent years by my incessant need for perfection. Now that I’m older, I want everything I create to be a perfect synthesis of ideation and execution before it is shared with anyone. While this may have its practical applications in the career world, it doesn’t help me grow as a creative individual. Instead, it impedes my imagination, my desire to play and sketch and explore and experiment.
This blog is my attempt to reclaim those things as a creative individual. I want to to be a collection of rough ideas, experiments, thoughts, playful exploration into creative territories previously unknown to me, and—most of all—mistakes. Gasp. I want to approach it the same way I would a sketchbook, with the added benefit of sharing it instantly over the web with those who want to follow along.
So, if you want, follow this perfectionist with Type-A approach to creativity get messy for a change. It’s about damn time.
